Tasting Notes:

Deep purple to black colour. Intense and vibrant aroma of dark fruit and spice, beautifully varietal with ripe plum and blackberry with well integrated oak and chocolate hints coming through. The palate is fruit driven with dark fruit being the overwhelming hero here while oak and smooth tannins all working in unison. The complexity is derived from some spicy character whilst the finish is backed by a great acid back bone and the tannin structure will ensure the wine continues to drink well over the medium term.

Technical:

Sourced from a single vineyard in the Grampians sub region oin Victoria. The fruit was crushed then underwent cold macerating. Fermented in open top fermenters with regular pump over’s to extract both colour and tannin. Following another week of maceration the dry free run is drained to tank. The skins are then pressed and the pressings transferred to the same tank, the wine is then racked with select parcels going into barrel. The wine is aged in older oak hogsheads then bottled after maturation with minimal fining and filtration.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Roadtest from Great All-Rounder I’ve been buying this wine for several years now and keep coming back to it as a “have to have a case in the cellar at all times!” wine. In summer, it’s there at all the bbq’s. In winter, it marries off with Osso Bucco or any other slow cooked comfort foods. It’s mellow, smooth and has great mouth taste. I sent a case each recently to 3 mates and they all love it. Value for money and quality of the product are outstanding. You simply can’t gat anything this good at a bottle shop for anywhere near the price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Peter B from An old friend! I have bought this wine on a few occasions and it never fails to deliver! It’s not Grange but it isn’t cheap and nasty. Nice fruity taste and consistent. Derek is a lovely, delicious delight
